The 1.1 spec was released about _twenty_ years ago, I explicitly used the word _implemented_ for a reason. As in: Our Yaml lib vendor had begun officially supporting that version more than ten years ago.
1.1 partially fixed it, so that strings (quoted ”no”) did not become Boolean false. 1.2 strengthened it to remove unquoted no from list of tokens which could be interpreted as Boolean false.

Do you have a source? Afaik v1.1 didn’t introduce such a change, v1.0 specified the same behavior for quoted strings, i.e. in v1.0 a quoted “no” would remain a string “no” as well.
